I did mention Wood, but the piece was altogether too long (still is, actually!) and I had to cut it back. One of the best players the band ever had, he wound up on the cutting room floor! I'm not happy about that!

Richard, I'm still annoyed that I never saw Downchild. They were booked to open for George Thorogood in Ottawa around the mid-1970s, and didn'd show (actually I'm reminded that they *did* show, about the time George was going back on after his intermission).
